Look At Me

Stop talking about her
Don’t you know who you’re hurting with this?
I’m crying here! But you can’t see that
You’re too busy holding on to her shadow
To see what I’m turning into

But I’m fine
I’ll keep listening,
Just don’t stop talking
I need your voice
You don’t know how lovely it is
You don’t know how much it helps
You don’t know
No, you don’t know

Why not look at me?
I’m right here,
I’ve always looked straight at you
Only at you

Don’t you dare let go of me
I’d rather have you hold on to me like this
Than not at all

It’s dark and I’m alone
I haven’t slept in days
It’s knowing that you’re not okay
That always seems to keep me awake

Why can’t you stay?
I really wish you would
But I know you can’t
Because she’s not here
And that just doesn’t make any sense

I’ll be safe when I know you are
I’ll stay quiet when I know you’ll speak
So please speak
Don’t lie to me
I’m tired
And nothing’s even happened yet
Why must I always be on the sore end of things
Ain’t it enough to have my heart torn out once already?
I guess not
I’m a sucker for suckers.

I’ll be gone by morning, you know
And I’m never coming back
But when I come back

You’re dead.
